Benjamin Moore

Sioux Falls

705

Sioux Falls has an LRV of 29.28, positioning it as a mid-to-dark tone that absorbs a substantial amount of ambient light. It reads as a muted gray-green with underlying blue and sage undertones that shift depending on surrounding colors and light temperature-leaning greener in warm light and more slate-like under cool daylight. The color has enough gray to remain restrained rather than overtly chromatic.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, Blue Heather, Saybrook Sage, Revere Pewter, and White Dove. It functions well as an accent or full-room wall color in spaces with sufficient natural light.

Sioux Falls in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
